Estate Planning Tools
Estate plans can be as simple or as elaborate as the client needs or desires. There is a plan to fit every budget from as little as $500 to $3,000 or more. The Law Office of Michele L. McGill offers free estate planning consultations to explain the options to the client and to determine how to best provide for the clients during their life and for their loved ones when they die.
Elder Financial Abuse
Actions To Recover Title To Real Property.
Elderly people who have significant equity in their property are often targets for unscrupulous family members, neighbors, care givers, or strangers. Elders may be pressured or deceived into transferring title to their property or encumbering their property with a deed of trust or mortgage. The Law Office of Michele L. McGill has been assisting elders and/or their family members in recovering title to real property by bringing actions to cancel transactions and recover title to real property where the transfer was made as a result of elder abuse, fraud, undue influence, lack of capacity, mistake, or forgery.
Probate and Trust Administration and Litigation
Probate Administration.
When a person dies and their property is passed through a will, and if their estate value is $100,000 or more, or includes real property interests, a probate proceeding is required. Estate administration may include paying the bills, filing tax returns, selling assets, and distributing the proceeds to the designated beneficiaries. A probate proceeding is a court proceeding and takes a minimum of six months. The attorney is paid a fee set by statute and may also be allowed to charge extraordinary fees on an hourly basis.
Foreclosure Defense and Predatory Lending Claims
Foreclosure Defense
